BILL NUMBER: S1755

SPONSOR: BORRELLO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act providing requirements for sick leave when such employee is
subject to a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation
due to COVID-19

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Relates to requirements for sick leave when such employee is subject to
a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Any employee who is subject to a mandatory precautionary
order of quarantine or isolation issued by the state of New York, the
Department of Health, local board of health, or any governmental entity
duly authorized to issue such order due to COVID-19, shall be entitled
to sick leave until the termination of mandatory or precautionary order

of quarantine or isolation. Paid family leave is available for mandatory
or precautionary quarantine periods after the utilization of any avail-
able paid sick leave.

Section 2: Provides the effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Many businesses across the state are in financial distress amid the
COVID-19 pandemic and while this is a healthcare crisis, it is also a
serious economic crisis.

This legislation would support employees by ensuring they are eligible
for compensation through the paid family leave program, after the utili-
zation of any available paid sick leave.

This measure would also ensure no new mandates are placed on employers
while providing necessary action and coverage for employees in New York
State.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2020: Referred to Labor

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state because full-time employees typically accrue 1.75
hours of sick leave per week.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
